DISH-WASHING MACHINE.

Application filed January 8, 1915. Serial No. 1,086.

, To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that we, HOWARD P. MAR-sI-IALL and Gnonen E. DANInLs, citizens of the United States, residingat Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dish-lashingMachines; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures .ofreference marked thereon, which forma part of this speciiication. y

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in dish washingmachines.

The objgct of the invention is to provide a machine of this kin'dwhichis especially available 4for :household use and of simple constructionand efficient.

A. further object of the invention isto provide such a machine with asupporting frame of a form which enables said machine to be moved to andsupported over a kitchen sink when it is desired to use it, and removedtherefrom when the work of washing the dishes is inished.

51W to a position to bring With the foregoing general objects in view,reference is made to the accompanying drawings of which- Figure 1 is afront elevation of the machine with parts of the cylinder door brokenaway to reveal structural parts; and Fig. 2

is a side elevation thereof with parts of the end of the cylinder brokenaway; and Fig. 3 is a detail Aview of one of the seals between the lidand the cylinder.

lin a detail description of the invention, similar reference charactersindicate corresponding parts in both the drawings and the description.

lThe frame is especially designed to support the washing machine in aconvenient manner over the kitchen sink. To this end it consists of twooverhanging side frame members 1 which, by reason of their overhangingcharacter, enable the frame to be moved up to the sink, shown 1n dottedlines, the washing machine entirely over the sink, the latter being'shown in dotted lines, Fig. 2. The lower ends of the frame members 1extend in a freine consisting of four legs 2 which are joined by crossmembers?, ande, 'the former being curved extensions which radiate fromthe Specication of Letters Patent.

fixed to the stub shaft 7 so that shaft 8'at the otherend of saidstationary and the cylinder roates thereon.

Patenten sept. lv, isis.

i Iframe member 1. Between the frame members 3, a brace bar 5 -extendsand between the members et two such brace bars 6 extend. The entireframe so constructed enables the overhanging members 1 to rise from oneside thereof. The supporti ng frame so constructed is supported oncasters 7 which enable it to be conveniently moved around to and fromthe sink or other places. The upper endsof the ovcrhanging frame members1 are provided with apertured bosses 1 which provide bearings for thetwo stub shafts 7 and 8 through which the` washing machine is rotated.The washing machine consists of a cylinder 9 .which has inclosing heads9 and a cover 10,

along the edges of the opening, and the other two of which are fixed tothe inner side of the cover. As seen. from Fig. 2,'the strip 15 at thetop is attached to the cover and the strip 1G is attached to thecylinder, while at the bottom the strip 16 is attached to the cover andthe strip 15 is attachedto the cylinder. The adjacent surfaces of saidsealing strips 15 and 16 are tapered throughout their lengths to providea snug fit between them and to thus, in connection with other elementsto be presently described, form an efficient seal to prevent leakagefrom the cylinder. A corrugated metal strip 15 is secured to the' outerside of the sealing strip 15 at the bottom to cushion the impact of thedoor. One head of the cylinder is both cylinwhile the cylinder is derand shaft rotate together,

The interior oi" :the fylinder and the cover therefor is provided with aseries of stirrcrs 17 fixed thereto and extending longitudinallythereof. Two of these stirrer blades, to-wit, 17", are fixed to theinner cover 11' in positions so that they will enter the cylinder at themargins of the opening. The margins of the opening in the cylinder sideof the and' 16 two of which are fixed tothe outer side of the cylinder.

les

are turned inwardiy es et i8 and @ibut with the stirrer blades l?? andthese, together with the sealing strips i and. 'i6 eectnelly seal theopening when the cover is closed. The stirrer blades 17 have each eclearance between them end-the inner sides of the eylinder and coverwhich provide openings 19 lthroughwhich the water passes and circulateswhen the cylinder is rotated.

The dish container Consists or a Wire basket 20, the ends and sides ofwhich are suitably strengthened'by the use or larger Wire in. itsoonstruotiomfthe ends terminating in convenient forms of bnils orhandles S51. e. portion of the said dish basket may be provided withsienting 'Wire partitions 22 between which flat dishes, snob es "pistes,and saucers,

may be placed in position which permit the water to come in Contact withboth-sides thereof. The seid Wire basket is supported- .in suitable endframes 23 which beve in- Wardiy projecting ings et three or more points24 between which, the basket is se cured. A baffle blade 25 projectsdown Wardly from seid frames 2? below the basket and interposes a.barrier et tbetboint to lthe :dow 'of the Water end throws it op intothe'besket from the bottom of the eylin* der as the latter is rotated.This eiieet oeenrs Wheneech of the stirrers 17 and iii" nr-- rive inline With seid bside blade, es seen in Fig. 2. One of the basket rernesor breekw ets 23 is suspended 'from the sb t the een- .neetion being`loose in order to permit seid shaft to rotate, While the other of seidframes 23 is fixed. in e similar position to the shaft 8 by e. serew A.snit-able drain opening in the cylinder is eiosed by e oep 27 and seid.cylinder may be looked against rotation when not in use by mea-ns o1A :tslidablepin 28 adapted to enter a. socket piece 29 on an end thereof.The cylinder is rotated by means of e. crank 30 which is pinned. tothestub sliet 7..
